Tumble Tower Rules

1. Object a. Remove one block at a time from the tower, and then stack it on top. The last player to stack a block without making the tower fall wins the game.

2. Setup a. Empty the block onto a flat surface. b. One person uses surface to build the tower by placing layers of wooden blocks at right angles to each other. When you finish, you’ll have a solid tower that can more than double during play.

3. Gameplay a. The player who built the tower goes first. Play passes to the left b. Carefully remove a block from anywhere below the highest completed story, using only one hand. Then stack the block on top of the tower at right angles to the blocks just below it. c. Remove and stack one block per turn. d. As play proceeds and the weight of the tower shifts, some blocks become looser than others and are easier to remove. You can touch other blocks to find a loose one, but if you move a block out of place, you must fix it (using one hand only) before touching another block. e. While stacking, always complete a 3-block story before starting a higher one. f. Your turn ends 10 seconds after you stack your block - or as soon as the player to your left touches one.

4. Winning a. If you’re the last player to stack a block without toppling the tower, you win! The player who makes the tower fall gets to set up the tower for the next game.
